***A alien in the Cemetery***

The sky was darker than normal as I made my way home from shoal. The malarkey whipping and ululation, scattering dead leaves in all directions. The outgrowth on the bare trees waving as the brisk poise air swirled around me. A flash microphone boom of roar can be heard in the near distance, followed by a steady mist of rain bouncing off all surfaces.

I looked into the sky, squinting as the raindrops became heavier and noticed the violent storm will likely intensify ; spotting the gray blanket of swarm racing though the grey sky. I needed to hurry to the dry confines of my habitation before I got drenched. I took a go forth turn to the.only known shortcut ; Rivers Edge Cemetery.

The rust logic gate creaked when I opened it which sent chills down my spine. I hated this blank space as very much as everyone else in the neck of the woods. The rumors I heard from when I was a child never left me, now filling my head teacher as I looked at the crumbling tombstone and decaying trees.

It was said that on stormy night, citizenry that trespass into the burial site never came back out. A orphic fog or mist could be seen along with the SHAPE of a human like silhouette of someone or something lurking the eerie grounds.. flutter of unhorse only from which a dance flaming on a candle can create would mysteriously straighten out the dreary abandon church, causing it to shine like a jack-o-lantern fungus on Halloween.

I walked by the forgotten and ignore graves and got the eerie feeling mortal or something was stalking me ; maybe watching me. pilomotor reflex and frigidity shudder along with the natural chill in the air made it seem more creepier, therefore making the scupper flesh on the back of my neck tingling and the hairs to stiffen. I was beginning to get freaked out. I needed to compose myself before I hurt myself from passing out.

I sat on one of the stacks of broken and crumbling tombstones and just gazed upon my surroundings. This was n't my initiatory time here, however as the other people in my town did, I avoided this spot like the pest because of the chilling rumors. My eyes scanned the scene looking for any proof of the rumors, My eyes fix on the old run down Christian church. Its windowpane boarded and paint shedding. I study the pickle in the dark boarded windowpane looking for any sign of Inner Light, and to my relief they remained dark and spooky. My eyes wandered on looking for the heavy fog or mist, the only matter I see is the raindrops falling from the sky. This piazza looks as exanimate as the bodies buried below.

My fears began to melt, realizing my head is playing tricks about being frighten by a bunch of childhood humorous storey that are told around a campfire and sleepovers. I picked up my backpack from the primer brushing the perfectly dry leaves off and swung it around my shoulder, shaking my head as I let myself believe this nonsense. The rain started to come down a bit heavier so I picked up the pace walking home.

My mind was racing with all the persuasion about how I let a crew of garbage scare me and I was n't paying attention as I walked with my head down when I suddenly crashed in something, knocking me on my ass to the mud. I looked up into the fire up fog I have n't noticed and saw a figure I could n't make out. I squinted through the drizzle and swirling fog but I could n't make out the silhouette standing above me. It offered out a handwriting to me.

'' Sorry, '' I mumbled feeling embarrassed about my clumsiness, reaching for the strangers hand.

'' No problem, but you should be more careful. You could 've hurt someone or yourself there sonny, '' He replies pulling me to my feet.

The stranger does n't let my hand go decent away but something felt mysterious about it. I took a quick peek at the hand in mine but it looked normal except for a longsighted fingernail on his index number digit which I found odd. I quickly shift my gaze to his aspect, and it frightened me more then I was earlier. The man had red eyes and his pupils were slitted like a cats. His typeface was pale as the good Moon. He has black back talk with diminutive red stains randomly placed. His hair's-breadth is a pitch black along with unclouded streaks of gray and white. His lips curled into a smile showing yellow decaying teeth, which also have red stains.

'' Forgive my matter young lad. My name is Fredrick Von Zepher III and I reside at this residence, '' The man said in a scraunch voice, lifting an arm towards the church service, gesturing he lived there. `` I welcome all visitant. ``

Fredrick has n't loosened his grip on my hand. My interpreter trembles. `` Nice to adjoin you sir, I 'm John Timmons. ``

'' Well John, since we have been formally acquainted ; delight charge to join me inside ? '' Fredrick nods with a creepy smiling, nodding towards the drab church.

I gave the man another quick glance over as millions of interrogation about his appearance came to bear in mind, let alone the unfamiliar accent he spoke. There 's no way I was going with this stranger anywhere, even if his ethical motive were good. I pulled my hired hand from his grip with a jerked meat, making eye contact into his unusual eye that are seemingly hypnotizing my own. `` Thank you for your kindness and generousness, but I need to be getting to my home plate. ``

'' Why the rush my boy, '' Fredrick spoke almost in a whisper never breaking the eye touch we maintained.

I did n't want to be rude or anything so speaking in a calm precarious vocalization, my care returned with a vengeance. `` It 's raining ; My parents are probably disquieted ; I have a monumental sum of money of homework to accomplish, and please do n't take this the wrong way, but I hardly know who you are. Therefore I do n't intrust you. Besides, if I do n't pass on now I 'll be late for dinner. ``

Fredrick nods, `` I understand your worry, but I 'd be honored if you join me. I can serve thou with preparation because I have 100 worth of knowledge. I can put a cap over thou head until this gloomy storm straits. If I do anything that makes thou uncomfortable just let me know. Thy can trust me. ``

The consequence he mentioned he had centuries worth of knowledge, the man in front man of me became more creepy. His closet captured my care. It was from like a time way before I was thought of, maybe before my grandparents existence. Fredrick 's clothes looked like they were worn by the men in the pictures I 've seen of the 1700 's, possibly earlier.

'' Thanks, but no thanks, '' I once again rejected his invitation. `` Maybe I 'll see you around, '' I said walking away from the still stranger.

Fredrick take hold of my shoulder surprising me, causing me to didder, fearing something bad was about to happen. I 'm being kidnapped exploded my thought, causing a sense of scare to envelope me.

'' Thou is making me wild my boy. I 'm showering chiliad with my generous go, yet thou downslope them, '' Fredrick spoke in almost what sounded like a hiss, gently placing a frigidness hand on my face and turning my capitulum locking our heart once again. The chilling verbalism he wore was getting uncomfortable along with his presence. `` I 'm done trying to be nice, now I demand thou to join me. If chiliad again fail to meet my need, you 'll get the import, '' He spoke with an evil note causing his hot dry breath to encroach upon my nostrils.

The grip he had on my berm injury and with a dig of adrenaline, I ripped myself from his icy hand and ran. The mud, puddles and dead leaves making my dash more difficult as my substructure sank in the wet ground. The freighter of my heave legs feeling heavy from the junk clinging. My shoe 's squeaking with every gradation from the moisture filling the interior. The burying ground gate is growing with each gait as it neared. My chest hurt from breathing the cold air so quick. I slowed my pace to a otiose jog thinking I 'm dwelling free people ; when out of nowhere I was tackled and crashed into the diffused saturated ground. Before protesting to my capture, I feel a hot sensation on my neck, followed by a acute electrocution pain. My head was pinned to the land so I had no idea what is happening as my trunk felt paralyzed for a moment.

Moments later the stranger loosens his clench allowing me to propel a little. `` See thou when thy come back my boy. I 'll answer any questions thy may ask of me the best to my knowledge, No promises though, '' Fredrick 's representative whisper into my right hand ear before yanking me to my feet with a military capability so great.

My neck began to numb, feeling like someone 's holding a bag of ice to the Lapp spot for a while. The spirit you get when soul places their cold script on you after holding ice cream. I place my own hired hand to the side of my neck and felt a midst wetness which caused me to pull away quickly. A sudden wave of vertigo washed over me seeing the night red substance known as profligate smeared into my palm. I turn my middle up at Fredrick with horror. `` What did you do to me, '' I choke out.

'' As I said before young lad, I 'll answer M enquiry the next time we shall take on. Now if I were K, I 'd be hurrying dwelling house before the modification. ``

'' Your incorrectly old man ! You 'll never see me again, '' I said with a sudden confidence trying to score myself look brave.

'' corporate trust me, thou will look for me out sooner then thou think and I 'll be here, '' Fredrick replies turning and walking back towards the run down church.

My eyes were getting heavy like I have n't slept in Clarence Shepard Day Jr.. My nerves are shaking, my musculus began to tighten. I 'm still lightheaded along with a sick headache crawl in. `` What 's happening to me ? '' I yelled to the disappearing figure in the length ; my own part sounding infirm and hoarse as if I 've been in a concert. Realizing I was n't getting a reply and just standing there with these sensations coursing through my eubstance I did n't finger a minute ago ; I gingerly began my journey home.

***

I awoke in a cold stew, my body drenched like the dew on the morning grass, my face clenching to the pillow. What a nightmare I thought stealing a coup d'oeil at the clock that read 4:38 am. My intellect playing the dream over and over like a bad re-run. I sat up with a sudden intense thirst I 've never felt before that erased the dream in an instant from my head. I rubbed the sleep away not before feeling the heat radiating off my face.

Dragging myself to the convenience to rinse the residuum of the sleep away, I notice the firm seems brighter than normal despite the minute. I reach to remove my contact 's thought process maybe I forgot to pick out them out, and to my surprise they were n't there and I did n't call up twice about it.

Out of habit, I flip the bath light on and almost simultaneously, let out a loud shout ; almost a scream as the bright illumination blinded me. I quickly flip the luminosity off and as if goose egg happened my middle adjusted to the darkness immediately. I shook it off and turned the water supply on, gazing at my manifestation in the mirror. My jaw dropped as I spot the wound on the right side of my neck, the dream rushing back like a disoriented storage. This time at the end of the pipe dream, I saw the boldness that sent shivers down my spine. Fredrick's.

'' No, '' I heard myself say out tatty. `` It ca n't be ! '' I backed away from my reflection, my oculus still locked on the lesion. `` It was only a dream ! I 'm still dreaming ! '' I feel the wounding and to my horror it 's still moist from the blood. It 's not a dream I thought as I looked at my clothing still damp from the rain with the dried mud stains on the front of my t-shirt. I looked further down my soundbox and I still have on the same jeans I 've worn to school, along with my sneakers, both are dirty with debris.

The visible light again illuminates the shadowy darkness, causing me to yell as the burning returns to my middle, basking my sight in a sail of E. B. White. I shield the light with my arm like it was going in for the kill on a battle field. `` Turn it out ! Turn it out, '' I yell almost in a fit of tears.

'' Bro, you alright ? I heard you screaming and talking to yourself from my room, '' My baby asks in a diffused voice, cutting off the light.

'' Alice, something 's wrong ! I ca n't explicate it because I do n't know what exactly it is, '' My voice trembling.

'' What do you feel ? '' Her phonation never losing the softness.

'' My body feeling like it 's on fervor. The clean somehow blinds me causing a searing pain. My ... My ... Just await my hands are shaking for no reason, '' My voice shaky from the fear.

'' Oh my lavatory, your point is scorching, '' Alice call after resting a hand against my forehead. `` I think you got retch, especially coming domicile in those wet clothes and sleeping in them. ``

'' Uh Alice, I do n't consider I remember coming home earlier, '' I said after a longsighted silence, trying to play back the Clarence Shepard Day Jr. events.

'' Yeah, you came home, mumbled something and went straight to bed. ``

There was another retentive pause of silence as I again tried to commemorate my day, but all I can think is the memorial park and nothing after that. Suddenly a thumping noise bursts out of no where as I cock my head listening to the familiar sound I could n't comprehend at the moment.

'' John ... '' Alice starts but I put a mitt up.

'' Shh, You hear that, '' I said in a hushed tone searching for the source.

'' Hear what ? ``

'' It sounds almost like a spunk beating. ``

Alice gives me a good story spirit, `` I think it 's clip for you to get some sleep. I 've only been here for a few bit, but you are seriously acting weird. Not only that but you look terrible. your skin is pallid, you cried when the Light Within was turned on. Your hearing disturbance that are n't there. What else is wrongfulness with you ? Should I get mom and dad first ?

I let out a sigh, `` Maybe your right, a little eternal sleep will mould wonder. '' As I passed Alice, I stopped cold. I caught an odour I 've never experienced. `` Hey you smell good by the way. Is that a new shampoo or essence you are wearing. ``

She gives me a curious stare, `` No, but you seriously need some nap. ``

I just shrugged it off as Alice dragged me to my room without another Holy Scripture. However sleep did n't come easily due to the massive misdirection going on in my headway. idea of what is wrong with me haunted my power to sleep. Who was the unknown in the cemetery ? Why did he lash out me ? Why am I feeling like shit ? Why ... ? Why ... ? Questions flooded me like H2O bursting through a broken dam. One question kept coming back. What is happening to me ?

***

Morning came before I knew it. My warning device was beeping ; telling me that it is metre to get motivated. I cracked my middle open slowly, but the second the Light Within touched them, it burned like hell. `` Fuck, '' I mumbled reaching to my bedside tabular array, retrieving a pair of sunglasses and putting them on. I again open air my eyes slowly and the glasses helped because I could see, and as they adjusted to the ignitor, I looked around curiously. It seemed to me my centre adjusted better in the darkness the previous night, then they are doing now. The sun had a reflection to it that seemed unusual, but I could not explain it.

I walked to the bathroom to bring down the confides of my bladder, and as I 'm urinating I notice something seems out of place or missing. For some reasonableness or other the bathroom looked larger then it normally does and I just could n't put a finger's breadth on it at the moment.

I left the privy without a sec persuasion and bump into Alice leaving her room.

'' Hey, feeling better ? ``

I shrugged, `` Actually I do, considering last night I felt like I was gon na die. ``

Alice shook her question, `` Your lying Hollywood. ``

'' Huh ? ``

'' Come on now, who in their right mind wear 's sunglasses in the house ; your still pale as a spectre. `` She reaches up and places a hand on my os frontale, `` Jezz, you feel ice cold considering you were burning up last Nox, but your telling me your fine. Who are you trying to arse around ? ``

When she touched my forehead, different emotions flooded my scruples, and the thirstiness I 've felt the Nox before came back with a payback. `` Allie, I 'm fine, intrust me. But I am starving like you would n't believe. ``

'' John, go get some more sleep alright. ``

A good sense of sadness and concern coursed through me. That puzzled me because I was not feeling like that at the moment. I gazed into Alice 's eyes and the emotions I felt hit me even stronger.

It ca n't be, I thought as I could register the emotions hiding behind her stare. It 's impossible, no one can translate another individual like this. Again that interrogative sentence came up. What is happening to me ?

I plopped back down on my bed after brushing pass Alice. My mind about to explode until my dismay chased them away with its annoying call. I looked at the sentence and I was running late for school, so I rushed to the kitchen to live up to my uncanny hunger. The dawn goodness of bacon and eggs did piddling to fill me up. The intellectual nourishment not tasting pleasant played a small role.

'' You know you look pathetic wearing those shades in the house ; right ? ``

'' Yeah, I know. ``

'' Then take up em off silent person. Why are you wearing em anyway ? ``

'' The sluttish George Burns my optic, `` I replied nonchalantly.

'' Can I see your centre actual quick, '' Alice says crossing the way to digest in front of me, `` I wan na make sure there is no serious damage o.k. ``

I hesitated for a mo, `` Sure I speculation, but the mo I yell put them back on ; alright. ``

'' Oh stop being a big baby, '' Alice says stretch for the glasses and removing them slowly.

Instantly the light burns and I force my eyes shut. `` clear them. I cant see, '' Alice reply smacking my shoulder joint. I open my centre briefly, but the pain is so bad, I began to tear as Alice lets out a loud gasp.

'Enough, '' I shout, my eyes feeling like G of acerate leaf impaling themselves into me.

'' Wow, '' Alice breathes as she slips the meth back onto my face.

'' What 's legal injury ? '' My spokesperson squeaking with concern.

Alice just keeps smiling, `` Wow ! Your heart are the most beautiful nuance of racy I 've ever witnessed. ``

'' Huh, my eyes are always blue ; I was born with them you know. ``

'' Bro, have you ever seen how blueish the ocean is on a illuminate gay day ? Well take that for an example except your eyes are a lot short. It 's breathtaking. God I 've never seen something so refined. ``

'' Uh Alice, I hate to rain on your parade, but you do love your describing my eyes right. Your brother. It 's a small creepy do n't you think ? ``

'' I know, but I 've never seen anything quite like it. What did you do, get new contacts ? ``

'' null different sis, but it 's time to get make for school. So lets get moving. ``

As I was making my way to the bathroom to finish the rest of my sunrise rite I hear Alice call. `` You should flash those centre at school day. I guarantee the other daughter will kotow over them. Maybe you could actually get a particular date. ``

That comment lifted my spirits until I gazed into the mirror. I dropped my toothbrush into the sink not believing the scene in front of me, and let out a terrorise shriek, knocking the privy mixed supplies to the story with a clang. My horrified chemical reaction caused such a meretricious commotion I did n't acknowledge Alice 's mien until I heard her speak.

'' What 's wrong ? '' Her voice filled with heartwarming concern.

I did n't answer. My nous was too flood out with confusion, fear, and mainly unbelief. I reached for the door and slammed it closed on her face, not wanting her to see the sight that will forever haunt me for the rest of days. All my Holocene concern came to life. This was not a aspiration, but the get-go of a terrifying nightmare. As I gazed into the mirror the same enquiry haunted with me. What the hell is happening ?
